Check out our genealogy workshops and webinars offered each spring and fall. Topics vary each semester. Register early — space is limited.

All workshops are held on Saturdays at the Memorial Library on the UW Madison campus. They provide an opportunity to focus on your research with other researchers, sharing ideas and moving forward with your family history research. Lunch is provided.

Our workshops always feature hands-on learning opportunities led by specialists in North American history and genealogy.
